The violence at
Maruti Suzuki India's Manesar plant in July was not instigated from outside, but was due to internal issues between
management and workers, according to the chargesheet filed by the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed to probe the incident.
"It was more of an internal issue between the management and the workers," he said, adding that involvement of Naxal elements into the violence was also ruled out.
When contacted, Maruti Suzuki India spokesperson declined to comment.
Dayal further said: "Chargesheets have been filed against 145 persons and a total of 300 witnesses were interviewed to file the report, which runs into 3,000 pages."
The main charges levelled include murder, attempt to murder and destruction of property.
The finding of the SIT is contrary to what the company had stated at the time of declaring lockout at the plant that the "orchestrated" violence appeared to be instigated from outside as "there were no pending issues with the workers".
MSI Chairman R C Bhargava had said the violence was a handiwork of "extreme Left wing elements" and "it was a conspiracy which was kept within a small group of people" and even described the incident as a "class attack".
